Villager VJS 3500 (GB)
Connecting to the battery
1) Identify polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typically
marked by these letters or symbol (POS,P,+). The negative battery terminal is
typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-).
2) Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal parts.
3) Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by
identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis.
4) For a negative grounded vehicle (most common): connect the RED POSITIVE
jumper clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK
NEGATIV jumper clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle chassis (if
you are unsure about vehicle chassis, just connect to battery terminal).
5) For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK NEGATIV
jumper clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED
POSITIVE jumper clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis (if you
are unsure about vehicle chassis, just connect to battery terminal).
6) When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the
negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
Jump starting
1) This unit is only for emergency use, not for frequent commercial use! ENGINE
START socket is ALWAYS activated! Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle
when the Villager VJS 3500
battery capacity is below 20% (battery status
indicator: 1 solid LED lit).
2) Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners,
etc.), and disconnect electronic devices.
3) Connect the jumper clamps to the correct polarity battery terminals.
4) Connect the EC5 plug of jumper cables to the ENGINE START socket of Villager
VJS 3500.
5) Try starting the vehicle (turn on the ignition switch). Most vehicles will
immediately start. Stop if the vehicle does not start after 5 seconds of engine
cranking. The jumpstart feature is designed for short term operation only, and
more than 5 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump starter to
cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jumpstarting.
6) Disconnect the cable from the Villager VJS 3500 immediately after engine
starts, and then remove from battery terminals.
